Full-Size Mario Karts

This definitely shows my age, but in college when the N64 came out we would spend hours playing Goldeneye and Mario Kart in the dorm rooms.

So when I found out that Nintendo was teaming up with West Coast Customs to create full size karts from the game I felt nostalgic.

“Ever wanted to see a real-life kart from Nintendo’s hit Mario Kart™ series outside of the Mushroom Kingdom? Nintendo has teamed up with West Coast Customs to create life-size models of two karts – one for Mario™ and one for Luigi™ – from the upcoming Mario Kart 7 video game for the portable Nintendo 3DS™ system. These unique electric vehicles were unveiled today at the LA Auto Show, where they will be on display Nov. 18-27 in the lobby of the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Visitors attending the show will be able to take photos of the karts, sample the Mario Kart 7 game before its Dec. 4 launch and participate in multiplayer game play.”
